I can't answer all your question but It looks like part of MOOC Production
Fellowship [1].
"We will award 250,000 Euros for the production of ten open online courses.
Now it is your turn: Choose your personal favourites! " so if this course
get enough votes to be in top 10 then it will start.

Where will it be?
How many people can be in the course?
What type of course is it?
How many votes are "enough" votes?
Why do you care about votes anyways? Will it be free or how much will it cost? -Michael Am 19.05.2013 um 21:29 schrieb mukesh tiwari : I think it will be offered if it gets enough votes.

To: "beginners" We are offering the Haskell/FP related course: which goes online if it gathers enough votes. It is our contribution towards getting Haskell and FP up on MOOC
(Massive Open Online Course). The aim is:
1. To use Haskell as medium to understand and showcase functional 2. To show how using Haskell as a thinking language can change the
quality of programming in more conventional coding languages -- eg python. It has been designed in the spirit of using haskell to play with ideas,
and then idiomatically refine them for any implementation contexts
including Haskell.
Therefore, in this course (classical) typeful functional programming
will take precedence over (modern) type hackery. Some aspects of this
shift of emphasis is [3].
Also some paradigm/philosophy questions, eg why much-hyped paradigms https://moocfellowship.org/submissions/the-dance-of-functional-programming-l...
programming
like OOP are not such a good idea [4] Functional Programming has never had it so good as today!
Books like RWH, implementations like ghc, and of course the Haskell language itself are all part of this Never Before. spj has often joked about avoiding success at all costs. This may be As Haskell enters the mainstream and begins to compete head-on-head
with C, C++, Java, Python etc, we need to separate out these aspects: 1. Mastering Haskell is harder today than when FP was an academic 2. Haskell-the-technology is obscuring the possibilities and reach of
Haskell-for-CS
3. The elegant computer science (FP) + powerful modern technology (ghc)
is obscuring the questions of paradigm and perspective that marked the
inception of the field in an earlier era [1] One of the main intentions behind this course is to take cognizance of somewhat tongue-in-cheek yet is also serious.
passtime
these facts and work on the Haskell-learning-curve to make it accessible
to people with a wide swathe of interests/backgrounds. So…
Those who are called to the above, Please Vote!
And those who are not called, also please vote [After all the choice is between this Haskell/FP course and none <wink> ] Rusi
